The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 166: Counterattack on Hundreds
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

No one could have imagined that Su Yan would be so outspoken and directly make such a request to Elder Yin Mingchen.

He stood on the stage with a faint smile on his face, and everyone looked at him, feeling like he was at home.

There is often only a fine line between confidence and assertiveness.

"Who does he think he is? He's just a new inner sect disciple. Even if he has some skills, what good can he do?"

Some people were indignant and complained quietly.

"That's not necessarily true. If we go by Wang Boxiong's strength, he could have already made it into the top 260 at the Ruyi Stage."

Some people were calmer, their eyes flickering as they looked at Su Yan as if they were expecting something.

Anyway, they are not on the list, so of course they are just watching the fun and don't mind making trouble.

Moreover, wouldn’t it be great if someone could go against the tide and do what they couldn’t do?
"Can"

Yin Mingchen stroked his beard and smiled, his interest piqued by Su Yan. He glanced at the Nine-Monument Spiritual Platform and said calmly, "The last one hundred disciples on the Tiger List are all here. They originally had a share of the fighting stage here. Since you want to come first in the final duel, I'll naturally allow you to do so. Which number would you like to challenge?"

There are 300 people on the Tiger List, and the last 100 are on the Lower List. You must compete for the list. For ordinary challenges, disciples in the sect will invite each other on their own, and it is up to them to decide whether to accept the challenge or not.

But there will be an exam in March, and if you don’t have Danqiao to guarantee you, you must be present to compete for the ranking.

There are 100 people on the list, and the exam is held every six months.

There are one hundred people on the list, and the test is taken once a year.

During this test, if there is an invitation to a battle, it cannot be refused unless it is a round-robin battle.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Yan. As he was ranked 279th, if he were to challenge someone, it would be safest to go up one rank at a time.

However, as arrogant as he is, how could he possibly challenge his way up one position at a time?

"Two hundred and sixty-nine, behind Senior Brother Zhang Hong of Yuefeng."

Sure enough, Su Yan jumped ten places in one go.

Zhang Hong, a burly man in the audience, held a heavy hammer in his hand and grinned, "I felt like I was going to be in trouble when I left home today. I didn't expect to end up here. I hope you will show some mercy, Junior Brother."

He was tall, about 1.89 meters tall, and was wearing an animal scale armor, looking like a military general.

"Zhang Hong of Fuyue Peak has been practicing for three years and is practicing the technique called 'Mountain Moving Strength'."

A pitch-black mountain monster rose up behind him, clasped its fists, and attacked Su Yan.

Zhang Hong's hammer technique makes light work of heavy objects, and he has also honed it to a high level of perfection.

He attacked vigorously, trying to force Su Yan to fight.

Su Yan controlled the six-winged blood centipede and flew towards him. He fought with him for seven or eight rounds, then took the heavy hammer head-on and swung the centipede's tail, knocking him off the stage.

"Concession."

He nodded slightly, then continued, "Two hundred and fifty-nine, Senior Sister Mo Yun from Guizang Valley."

Mo Yun was a beautiful girl in an emerald dress. When she heard her name being called, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she said with a hint of anger, "Junior brother, you don't even let your own people go?"

As he was speaking, a man walked onto the stage, holding an emerald green sword, as sharp as a jade snake. He rose up and started fighting with Su Yan.

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly, and Mo Yun's heart tightened, and he became more cautious in his attack.

She is on par with Wang Boxiong, and there is not much difference in their cultivation. The only difference is in martial arts, contracted beasts and experience.

Now facing Su Yan, his heart was already tense to the extreme.

However, even though the sword technique was tricky, it could not break the defense of the six-winged blood centipede.

The green snake's fangs were smoked by the poisonous mist of the six-winged blood centipede, making its body shaky.

Su Yan grabbed the Green Snake Sword with his Blood Butcher hand, pointed the hilt at Mo Yun's brow and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Win again...

Everyone's eyes became more and more heated. Although there were only two people, it also meant that Su Yan had crossed the top twenty.

"Two hundred and forty-nine, Tang Qingqing from Broken Moon Peak"

Tang Qingqing jumped onto the stage, and with the momentum of the Ruyi period, she was even more fierce than Wang Boxiong and Mo Yun.

What she cultivated was the true power of the Frost Wolf. As soon as she came up, her body looked like an invading white wolf, and she attacked Su Yan directly.

The force of the invasion was like frost, and the contracted beast and the true meaning cooperated tacitly, attacking from both sides.

Su Yan controlled the six-winged blood centipede and fought for several rounds. The Frost-toothed Wolf, the Qi beast, tried its best and broke several of the six-winged blood centipede's limbs. Then it was coiled on the ground. The venom entered its body and it immediately lost its combat capability.

Tang Qingqing seized the opportunity and attacked with the true meaning of Frost Wolf, slashing through the sky with one sword, its edge as sharp as frost.

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly. Tang Qingqing was stronger than Wang Boxiong, and this sword was enough to win.

"I'm sorry."

Su Yan raised his hand and punched, his Dharma body and scales merged into one, and a golden fist print came with great power.

The centipede appeared, as ferocious as a dragon.

With just one punch, Tang Qingqing's sword force was torn apart by him.

The true meaning was like two beasts eating each other, and the Frost Wolf's true meaning was wiped out by the Star-Moon Centipede in one bite.

"That is?!"

Yin Mingchen's eyes were dazed as he stared at Su Yan. He asked in a deep voice, "Qiu Shui, you didn't teach him the Heavenly Python Sutra or the Five Poisons Golden Body Technique, but instead taught him this?!"

Starry Beast Skill

Yin Mingchen was just a junior back then, but he also witnessed Wang Xuanxing’s seventy-two star-level mystical beasts transform into a large formation and fight and kill the Half-Step Dharma Real Person.

The Danqiao rivals the Dharmakaya, how powerful it is.

However, this method is difficult to implement. Wouldn’t this block Su Yan’s future?

"Uncle Yin, he is compatible with this technique. Master has already prepared a way out."

Long Qiu Shui replied, and everyone looked at the room again, which seemed to be completely silent.

Tang Qingqing was defeated, and everyone caught a glimpse of Su Yan's true intentions.

Another mysterious and ferocious giant centipede finally forced out his true intentions.

But it was just a fleeting glimpse, for this was a disciple who had reached the great accomplishment of the Ruyi Stage.

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly, and his true energy was consumed a little.

"Su Yan, after the third battle, I will allow you to rest for half an hour. You can meditate and recover."

Yin Mingchen valued talent and knew that Su Yan had fought three people in a row, although he did not use his full strength.

But the consumption is still quite high.

Moreover, the inner disciples above the 249th level are almost all at the Ruyi stage. Their cultivation is only getting stronger, and their methods are even more sophisticated and decisive.

Among them are many disciples who have only been practicing for three or four years. They are all disciples who have fought against the wild beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains, warriors from other sects, robber cultivators, and demon monsters.

It may not be easy for Su Yan to fight again. After all, he is just at the entry level of Ruyi Stage.

"Two hundred and thirty-nine, Feng Ruhai from Canglong Peak."

Su Yan smiled slightly, and the Star-Moon Centipede Beast Spirit on his body surrounded him like a guardian beast, and starlight sprinkled down, making him look like a divine general.

Feng Ruhai laughed loudly and accepted the fight. Thirty men, along with their true intentions and contracted beasts, were strangled by the six-winged blood centipede and the star-moon centipede and defeated on the spot.

The people in the audience had already become numb.

"The wish period has come to an end"

Feng Ruhai has already reached the perfect state of Ruyi Realm, and above him are all masters.

"Two hundred and twenty-nine, Senior Sister Liu Fengyi from Canglong Peak."

Su Yan's eyes were calm, while Liu Fengyi looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

She was as swift as a flying dragon, and the contracted beasts she raised were actually a pair of black and white pythons, with bodies like soaring dragons and spears pointing at sharp points.

She fought vigorously. Although she was a warrior who had reached the perfection of the Ruyi Stage, she was anxious. It seemed that if she was slower or distracted for a moment, she would be defeated by Su Yan.

Su Yan controlled the six-winged blood centipede and the star-moon centipede to fight with her for fifty rounds, and the true beast spirit merged with the six-winged blood centipede.

Using starlight as armor, he took the attack from the Dragon Spear head-on and then knocked it away.

"Number two hundred and nineteenth, Huang Tianheng, who has reached the perfect stage of Ruyi cultivation, cultivates both the python and tiger true meanings. His combined attack is fierce. He fought Su Yan for a hundred times, but was defeated.

Two hundred and nine, Lin Fengfeng of Guizang Valley, concentrated his momentum in half a step, his true intention was brilliant, and his attack showed some divine power.

He rode atop a poisonous scaled beast, spear in hand, his form fused with the beast's spirit, like a divine general, as he attacked relentlessly. The six-winged blood centipede and the star-moon centipede were suppressed for a long time before finally reaching Su Yan.

His spear was powerful and went straight to Su Yan's vital points.

What a pity, Su Yan was also an expert in spearmanship. When he used the Eighteen Styles of Blood Tiger, tiger shadows appeared everywhere, like a tiger roaring in the wind, completely breaking the spear force.

Lin Fengfeng was defeated, and he was actually defeated by Su Yan's spear.

This was shocking and left everyone choking in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

"Is he from Baihu Peak or Guizang Valley?"

The disciples of Baihu Peak who knew the details of spearmanship and the Blood Slaughter Hand were filled with anxiety, and for a moment they felt that everyone was looking at them.

Logically speaking, after learning so many skills from them and being recruited by Uncle Xiang Ge, shouldn't he be from Baihu Peak?

He defeated a hundred people and, as a disciple for one year, he had already reached the 209th place.

Even if we go back decades, we won’t find a single person like this.

There are geniuses every year. Su Yan is this year's genius, but weren't those who made the list in previous years not considered so?

"Two hundred and one..."

Yao Yunzhou's eyes flickered and he chuckled.

"Yao Yunzhou, it's too early for you to say that."

"Ji Lian, ranked 200th, was once defeated by you. You are well aware of the gap between the Condensation Stage and the Ruyi Stage."

Yao Yunzhou looked to his side and saw Gu Songde looking at Su Yan without looking back.

"To achieve your goal, the key is to calm your mind. Only when you can calm your mind can you better control the beast spirit."

Gu Songde's voice was neither too loud nor too low, just loud enough for Yao Yunzhou and the others to hear.

"In the Condensation Stage, the might of the beast spirit's true meaning is condensed. The might and power are united, and the means of fighting and attack are taken to a higher level. There is a world of difference."

Yao Yunzhou asked, "So, do you still have high hopes for this junior fellow disciple who helped you in Guizang Valley?"

Gu Songde grinned. "He must have his own methods to be able to fight like this. Don't forget that he had more than one true meaning when he first entered the sect. Besides, even if he lost, so what? Could you have done that back then?"

Yao Yunzhou is ranked 47th on the Tiger List and is a master in the Ruyijing Shenhe period. Gu Songde is ranked 53rd and is also a top-notch player.

Back then, the two of them could only manage to rank around 270th place. It was not until their second year that they made a breakthrough and continued to climb the rankings.

"whoosh"

A pitch-black spear came towards the fighting stage. With a swish sound, a cold-faced man in black stepped onto the fighting stage.

"There's no need to name my name, Junior Brother. You can't get past me."

"Ji Lian from Broken Moon Peak, True Artistic Condensation Stage!"

He exuded an aura, and the true meaning of the Frost Wolf also rose, but the eyes of this Frost Wolf were cold and blood red, and there was a faint chill around his body, like wisps of black smoke.

The spirit is condensed and the momentum is fierce, far more powerful than the Yiyi period, and has the momentum to crush people.

The animal bag on his waist moved slightly, and a three-eyed black wolf jumped out, baring its fangs and fixing its fierce gaze on Su Yan.

Condensation period!
When everyone saw Ji Lian's imposing manner, their expressions changed slightly, and they couldn't help but worry for Su Yan.

They were not very close to each other, but they could still feel Ji Lian's aura.

The true meaning had not yet been fully revealed, but just a wolf head that looked like smoke and fog had a chilling and terrifying look.

Su Yan did feel a sense of pressure, but his expression was filled with excitement.

Seeing his expression, Ji Lian frowned slightly: "Junior brother, do you need to rest?"

"No need to rest."

Su Yan flatly refused: "Brother, go ahead."

"it is good"

Ji Lian swung the spear in his hand, and a true meaning and spiritual charm were added to it.

In an instant, the spear light was ten feet long, and the light almost illuminated the entire fighting stage.

Su Yan raised the Demonic Scorpion Spear, and countless star rays shot out from the tip of the spear, gathering into a star-like tiger shadow, rushing forward.

With a startling muffled sound, the tiger's shadow was shattered by the spear's light, and the aftermath, with a sharp aura, shot in all directions.

Su Yan grabbed with his bloody handprint, sweeping away most of the sharp energy.

The third eye of the three-eyed black wolf suddenly opened, shooting out a beam of blood.

"Go!"

The blood came suddenly and was about to hit Su Yan, defeating him in one blow.

However, a cyan figure appeared, waved its claws, broke the blood light, and blocked it in front of him.

Ji Lian attacked with a gun, and another white figure appeared, blocking with one arm, making a clanging sound, and stopped the attack.

Ji Lian stepped back and looked at Su Yan in astonishment.

"You actually cultivated three true meanings!?"

He showed an expression of disbelief. Even if there was a difference in strength, how much time would it take to comprehend the three true meanings and accumulate the power of the true meanings?

Not only him, but also Yin Mingchen, Shui Manyi, Qian Mulan and others on the Nine-Monument Spiritual Platform were all stunned at this moment.

"How long has he been here?"

Pu Hanshan muttered to himself, "With such a great talent, it would be a shame if I didn't let Yue Feng down."

"It's just three true meanings. Please enlighten me, Senior Brother."

Su Yan's eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, and Ji Lian suddenly felt a lot more pressure on himself.

"Concentrate your energy!"

The Frost Wolf's true power was fully unleashed, its aura almost materializing, attacking with an aggressive chill.

It almost merged with Ji Lian's power, and directly swept out a cold ice spear, heading straight for Su Yan.

This attack was so powerful that even ten Wang Boxiongs might not be able to stop it.

However, Su Yan did not move at all, the true energy in his hands surged, and he pointed his fingertips.

"Mysterious Star Beasts, Four Symbols Star Formation"

The true energy transformed by the Starry Beast Technique flowed out from Su Yan's body like falling starlight, continuously falling on the three true intentions and a ferocious insect.

A pale silver light emerged, completely connecting them.

The fighting stage was full of flowing lights, and it looked as if you were under the starry sky.

Ji Lian became anxious and rushed forward to attack.

The attack was blocked by the Poison Star Ape in front of him. The attack on him only caused ripples in starlight, and then the force was dissipated by the Star-Moon Centipede, the Green-Scaled Poison Dragon, and the Six-Winged Blood Centipede.

"That poisonous dragon is the breakthrough point."

Ji Lian attacked continuously, but his attacks were constantly dispelled. In just a few breaths, hundreds of spear beams came at him.

It was also at this time that he discovered the weak point in the star array.

The Green-Scaled Poisonous Dragon is not a mysterious beast among the stars, and it has no beast-subduing mark connecting it, so it is a flaw in the star formation.

He attacked, but Su Yan made a bloody handprint with his hands.

The starlight gathered into a huge blood-red hand, pressing down and knocking Ji Lian to the ground with a bang, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Even if there is a flaw, it requires sufficient strength to break it. Ji Lian took it for granted.

"Su Yansheng, ranked 200th on the Inner Sect Tiger List, first on the lower list, and first among new Inner Sect disciples."

Yin Mingchen's voice was heard, and even ordinary people could hear the approval in it.

"Are you still going to continue?"

"My disciple is exhausted. We can discuss this challenge later."

Su Yan withdrew his true intention, and the six-winged blood centipede also shrank in size and took him off the fighting stage.

Everyone just stared at each other, and no one knew who muttered something.

"You're just fooling around. You haven't even made your move yet."
